Weigh in Wednesday

Planned Workout: Jillian M's 30 DS, aqua jog
Actual Workout: Aqua Jog, run 3k, more swimming


Ok, so I missed a day of my 30 DS challenge.  Really, I slept in a little too much, started it, did 10 minutes, then went "oh crap!" I gotta get to the gym! I tried to make up for it.

Plus, I was feeling a little bummed.  Today was my 5th day on 30DS and I have really stepped up the exercising this week.  And where does that put me on the scale?

189

!!!!!!!

That's right... I gained 4 pounds!!!!

I have been measuring myself and I am losing inches, so I am hoping this it the "muscles have a higher density than fat, so if your are not gaining mass, you are gaining muscle."  I don't know the exact ratios...but I think I will look them up.

I will get back to you on that!

WooT WooT!

Planned Workout: 3 mile run/walk interval
Actual Workout: 3 mile run/walk interval

That's right.  I did it.  I got myself up to 3 miles.  Granted, I walked probably a little under a mile of it.  But I did it.  There were some distractions and I think I could have pushed myself harder, but I enjoyed my 3 miles (after the fact,of course.) 

I compared my workout today to one I had in January with about the same time.  In about 40 minutes today I went 3.03 miles.  In about 40 minutes in January I went 1.79.  

I think a good run deserves a celebration.  So after work today I am going to go save some serious cash at the grocery store.  (Yeah, so I celebrate weird.  Whatever.)

Weigh in Wednesday

Planned Workout: Aqua Jog
Actual Workout: Aqua Jog and 30 minute interval run

I did it! I broke 190!
My current weight:
187.6

And yes, I realize it is upside down.

Weigh in Wednesday

Planned Workout: 2 mile run/walk

Actual Workout: 3k run/walk and arm circuit

I don't know why, but I felt the need to make a record for myself today.  I was going to do my usual, then I went looking through the history on my little tracker.  The fastest 3k I had on record was around 25 minutes.  The personal best for 2 miles was 24:25.  I knew my 3k record could be beat.  So I warmed up and took off.

Here is a list of my stats as of now:

• Total Workouts for 2012: 44
• Total Run Distance 2012: 71.38 miles
• Total Time: 18 hours
• Total Calories: 8227
• Total Non-run Steps: 1282
• Farthest distance in one run: 3.30 miles
  
• Best 1k: 7:00
• Best 3k: 23:07 (as of today)
• Best 1 mile: 11:40
• Best 2 miles: 24:45

Well, it is Wednesday so time for my weigh in:

191.5

Not sure how I lost weight this week honestly, but I'm not going to complain about it. 

But I am going to show you what I made for lunch: BBQ chicken toasties (they were yummy!)  All I did was put some chicken in the crock pot with BBQ sauce yesterday.  Today, I got these little slices of bread (whole wheat), put some BBQ chicken on them and sprinkled them with a little 2% cheese.  Then I baked them in the oven for about 10 minutes on 300 degrees.
